Unlocking the curse

The Price to Pay

Finally reaching my 30s. Didn't believe I would make it this far. A hearty thank you readers. You made me going.

As usual this chapter will have loads of drama. Hope you like it.
And the time you have awaited is here. Evelyn finally meets Cole.

Evelyn's POV (After a very long time)

"Yeah it hurts me every time you cheat on me with him." He said and looked at me with disheart which was slowly changing to disgust.

I left Harry's side to confront Luke about what actually was happening but he put his hands in front stopping me.

"Don't." He said aloud. "Don't try to explain. I trusted you Evelyn. I never once questioned you. Even when you sleep talked about Cole, even that day when you were with Harry. I never questioned you." He stopped his sentence to look at Harry who again, like me, was about to explain.

"DON'T.., Both of you don't try to explain. I cannot hear more lies." He said and left the room.

What did I do? What did I do? I kept repeating it.

Harry took a step forward and tried to console me. I couldn't push him away because he was just trying to help me. He isn't the bad guy here neither is Luke. Just my stupid fate.

Harry sat me on the bed and sat beside me.
"It's going to be alright, Evelyn. He is drunk. He won't understand anything now. Let him cool. We can explain everything tomorrow." He said.

His words had truth but I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I laid my head on his shoulder and let tears fall down...

"It's going to be fine..." He whispered. His voice was soothing. He hugged me tightly.

I kept crying. The tears don't seem to end. I don't know how Luke could think that. How could he think I would cheat on him with Harry.

"Evelyn look at me. Please stop crying. We can solve this problem in a second. It's nothing compared to what you just said now. You were not supposed to tell me anything." Harry said while holding me by my shoulder.  "Why did you tell me Evelyn?" He whispered the last part.

Then it hit me. I said about everything to Harry. I wasn't allowed to. What am I going to do? More importantly what is 'it' going to do?

"Why didn't you stop me from telling anything? Why didn't you, Harry?" I yelled at him. I kept yelling the same thing again and again. He seemed clueless and tried to calm me down. At some point I couldn't speak anymore. He gave me a sip of water.

By that time everyone who were downstairs, came up to my room. Max rushed in to my side. He held my hands hard and kept repeating that I call my dad.

I closed my ears with my hands cause I kept hearing 'it's words' in its voice. Everyone around me were confused. I couldn't breathe anymore.

I got out of the house, started running without giving any thought. I ignored my friend's cries and just ran. Ran like a dog was chasing me, in fact there was this bitch inside my head. I ran till I heard no voice in my head. I stopped at some place. A house. I don't know how far I ran, don't know for how long I ran.

I sat there in the front porch and thought about everything that happened in the last few hours. How did my life turn so dysfunctional? One minute everything was perfect and the next its on ground, crumbled. I have lost everyone dear to me. My eyes didn't seem to have shortage of tears. I don't know what's going happen. Who is going to get hurt because my act. Someone dear to me is going to pay for my mistake. Maybe losing Luke was my price.
